These are the last words that I’ll say to you   You know damn well what brought it on   I can’t believe I’ve been a silly fool   To let it go on this long      You never let life get you down   ‘Cause every single time   You take it out on me      You kick and scream your dyin’ love for me   Well, you don’t win love in a fight   The place you really need some victory   Is by yourself alone at night      I left my picture on the bed   So someone could be right   Take it out on me      Take it out on me   Or better still, you could take it out on the passenger seat   Where I used to be   I’m washing my hands clean   ‘Cause that’s what you need   Take it out on me      You treated me like I was second hand   Somehow I always caught the blame   You’ll never guess what I’ve been catchin’ now   A better man with a better name      You’re left out in the rain again   You can walk home in my shoes   Take it out on me      Ooh, take it out on me   Or better still, you could take it out on the passenger seat   Where I used to be   I’m washing my hands clean   ‘Cause that’s what you need   Take it out on me      Ooh, take it out on me   Or better still, you could take it out on the passenger seat   Where I used to be   I’m washing my hands clean   ‘Cause that’s what you need   Take it out on me      Take it out on me
